On getting her role as "Paikea" in Whale Rider, as quoted in the actor profiles http://www.whaleriderthemovie.com/html/castcrew_cast.html at the official Whale Rider site http://www.whaleriderthemovie.com/.

“I wish I could promise I'll
Be there when you dream
I wish that when you spoke to me
I'd know what you mean But you can't bring me comfort
By filling up my eyes
They don't stay dry
Hard as I try
Can't figure why
Made I this choice”
